Match Thread [FT] Aberdeen 1 - 1 Rangers (Tavernier 90+4pen)

[Gonzo79 15,294]

They just look more up for it than us.  That, combined with poor defending, is why we're losing.  

[Rousseau 10,640]

I don't think our lack of midfield 'control' matters - it's what Aberdeen are trying to do; congest that area - as long as we bypass it effectively, which we've failed to do. 

[CammyF 8,116]

Leon King has been playing midfield for Scotland U21s - but don't think that's the solution to our problems. Need to stop being so wasteful in front of goal.

I think, if Cantwell was half as good as he appears to think he is, Frankie, we would be in a better place. He's been MIA since his injury 

I think he's took the ball in well so far today and made good space at times but his use of the ball (like Lawrence and others) has been poor.

 

Both need a good run of games after injuries.

[Rousseau 10,640]

Defending has been awful. Not even complex defending: it's aerial duels. 

 

Try to win the duel, if you can't, your partner has to sweep in behind to get the second ball. We've done neither well. 

 

I think Souttar would be better than Balogun.

Cantwell wide right is a waste get him in the middle

[Uilleam 5,948]

We need to play more quickly, through their aggressive press, but our passing has been, em, " variable", so maybe that is precluded

If we're not going to make a sub, I'd at least swap Lawrence and Cantwell around.

 

Lawrence is technically a winger.  

[Rousseau 10,640]

If that ball to Lawrence was a wee bit straighter, he's smashing it on target.

Maybe it’s part of a cunning plan for our league cup final match lulling them into a sense of false security
